Very "Down To Earth" Yet Professional Attorney

I hired Mr. Gatch in September, 2017. I was referred to him by another attorney who knew I had a very unique case that Mr. Gatch was more accustomed to handling. I called Mr. Gatch, gave him a brief synopsis of my situation and it was at that point I knew I was with the right attorney.He was very c...ompassionate, took plenty of time to hear me as I told him how I had been gouged by another attorney and after making Mr. Gatch more familiar with my situation, he apologized that I have been treated so unfairly. I was very impressed. Since I had a "time sensitive" matter, Mr. Gatch stayed up past midnight filing papers on my behalf.He was determined to do it immediately as he saw how distraught I was . He gave me several ways to contact him if I needed anything at anytime in addition to any other questions I may have during this process. He was so thorough in telling me what to expect and what not to expect. He kept me abreast on every new situation or filings as they came up. Not once when trying to contact him did he ignore me or respond days later. He was always prompt, unlike some other lawyers. I have to say this man was a God send. I am FOREVER indebted to him. Thank you again Mr. Gatch for going above and beyond to help my family.

David Gatch is a control freak

I hired David Gatch to defend me in a DUI case. Once the case was resolved, Mr Gatch decided to meddle in my personal life by forcing me to attend rehab at Bradford, or else he would report to my court referral officer that I wasn't working the "program". We had an argument over the phone, then he c...alled the police on me, which had no merit. He did this because he is a recovering alcoholic. He had no business after court to meddle in my personal life.
